Marantz SR4400/5400 vs SR5300

Falp New member Username: Falp Post Number: 9 Registered: Mar-04	Posted on Friday, March 19, 2004 - 12:56 GMT I can buy a new Marantz SR5300 for the price of a SR4400, being the SR5400 too expensive. How does the SR5300 stand to the othes for both CD Stereo and 5.1 Audio and Video Sound quality? Or even 5.0...! No need for 6.1...

What speakers you are using? What impedence are they? How big is your room as to power needed? Marantz has a warm wonderful sound with the right combinations but have an audtion if you can for the sake of your own tatse.

Others may have a different view. B&W should work well. Haven't heard Mission for 15 years and MA bronze I have not heard but from reading other posts I think would work also. I have the SR7300 and think it's great. Not having listened to the 5300 I can only guess that it has that warm open Marantz sound. But I'll repeat, it's your ears you have to satisfy.
